  "abstract": "Transition from a split to a forward kinetic energy cascade system is explored in the context of rotating turbulence using direct numerical simulations with a three-dimensional isotropic random force uncorrelated with the velocity field. Our parametric study covers confinement effects in large aspect ratio domains and a broad range of rotation rates. Results indicate that for fixed geometrical dimensions the Rossby number acts as a control parameter, whereas for a fixed Rossby number the product of the domain size along the rotation axis and forcing wavenumber governs the amount of energy that cascades inversely. The regime transition criterion hence depends on both control parameters.",
